Making God’s Power Personal (4 of 7)
Series: In Awe of God
Scott Daze
Psalm 139:13-18
This is a series designed to deepen your worship of God. The Bibles offers us three lenses to view God. The first lens, the Bible gives us various names of God including Yahweh (Lord), Elohim (God), and El Shaddai (God Almighty). The second lens, the Bible presents word pictures of God. You probably know the Bible pictures God for us as a Shepherd and a Judge, a Shield, and a Rock. But did you know the Bible also pictures God as a Potter (Romans 9:19-22), a Farmer (Isaiah 5), a Landowner (Matthew 20:1-6), and even a Knitter (as we'll see in a few minutes). And the third lens, the Bible describes God with numerous traits, attributes, or characteristics.
My aim in this sermon is to deepen your sense of reverence for God, to encourage you resist the encroaching sense of cynicism of our age where nothing really matters in life, ... and to encourage you to rest in the refuge of God's protecting power during times of distress.

In fact, one thing we are told to pray for other believers is that each of us know more of God's power in our lives: ''and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might'' (Ephesians 1:19). So the Bible calls on us to pray for one another to have a deeper knowledge of God's power. God has the power to do all He wants to do. God has the power to carry out every one of His plans to perfect completion. There's nothing God wants to but can't. ''Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever an ...
